Inferring Passenger Boarding and Alighting Preference for the Marguerite Shuttle Bus System
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze passenger count data from the Marguerite Shuttle system operating on the Stanford University campus. The aim is to infer the time-varying passenger alighting and boarding preference across stops for several important shuttle routes. We look at the problem from the perspective of filling in the missing entries of a transit route O-D matrix. A preliminary analysis indicates that there are certain trips (e.g., the Quarry Welch Rd Med School Quarry) that are preferred by passengers.

Low-floor buses represent a significant improvement in accessible public transit for passengers with limited mobility. However, there is still a need for research on the inclusive design of transit buses to identify specific low-floor bus design conditions that are either particularly accommodating or challenging for passengers with functional and mobility impairments. These include doorway loc...
متن کاملThe Impact of Bus Door Crowding on Operations and Safety
This study examines how bus design factors influence door crowding and quantifies how door crowding relates to operational performance and passenger safety. Results are based on data collected for 2,807 stops in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Door crowding is affected by multiple bus design factors, including door placement, aisle length, presence of a front seating area, and service type. Increases in doo...
متن کاملDeterminants of Bus Dwell Time
Bus dwell time data collection typically involves labor-intensive ride checks. This paper reports an analysis of bus dwell times that use archived automatic vehicle location (AVL)/automatic passenger counter (APC) data reported at the level of individual bus stops. The archived data provide a large number of observations that serve to better understand the determinants of dwells, including anal...
